INteresting about the statins and kidneys. My mom was sick for almost a year before figuring out her kidneys were failing. They finally tied it to the statins she was on reacting to the solution she was given for her colonoscopy. I'm not positive, but Crestor sounds right. She wasn't able to reverse the damage at that point, but has maintained at about 18% function for the last 15 years so she's done okay.
If they'd done a full panel the first time she went in they would have found it, but the way insurance worked she kept having to go back in one test at a time. We finally started to figure it out when my SIL, who is a pharmacist, read an article that came out in the latest medical journal and called my parents who then told their doc.
